Ashley sat in her cell pacing back and forth thinking about Spencer and what she had to be thinking right now. I’m so fucking stupid why didn’t I just listen to her. I had to be all stubborn and macho. I couldn’t just listen to my Spencer and let the law take control of the situation, and look where I’m at now sitting her in a jail cell when I could be at home making Spencer scream my name.

Officer: “Davies? Go make your one phone call.” Ashley looked up at the rather large officer who looked more like she should be on a Jenny Craig commercial rather than protecting the city. Ashley slowly walked over to the officer.

            Ashley walked over to the pay phones located on the opposite end of the hall and called every person she could think of. When they all failed she called the only person she had left. Ashley finished her call and returned to her cell and sat patiently waiting for her knight in shining armor to rescue her from her cold hard cell. In thirty minutes a guard came over to the gates.

Officer: “Davies?” Ashley looked up at the guard. “You’ve made bail, follow me.” Ashley rose from her spot on the bench and followed to room where her personal belongings were set out across a table.

Ashley sat in the seat and kept her eyes forward on the road. She couldn’t look her savior in the eye. After twenty minutes of silence he spoke.

Savior: “Look..” Ashley cut him off before he could even finish his sentence.

Ashley: “I know I messed up you don’t have to tell me. But what was I supposed to do after she did that to Spencer.”

Savior: “Ashley I was going to chastise you, I was going to say thank you for protecting my little girl. I know since I haven’t exactly been the perfect parent as of late but that doesn’t mean that I don’t care about my kids.”

Ashley: “I’m not trying to be rude or anything right now so don’t take this the wrong way ok?” Ashley savior just nodded their head and Ashley continued to talk. “I really don’t believe you give a damn about her. I mean think about all that’s happened to her and how much of it were you there for? None of it.”
